Answers:
- Choice B) y = (1/4)x
- The unit rate is <u> 3.89 </u> dollars per pound. It costs <u> 23.34 </u> dollars for a turkey that weighs 6 pounds.
=====================================================
Explanations:
- Direct proportional equations are always in the form y = kx, where k is some constant. In the case of choice B, we have k = 1/4. Visually, direct proportion equations are always straight lines and go through the origin.
- Divide $34.99 over 9 to get 34.99/9 = 3.88777 approximately. This rounds to 3.89, so it costs $3.89 per pound. That's the unit rate. Multiply this by 6 to get 6*3.89 = 23.34 which is the cost of the 6 pound turkey.
Answer:
First "order of operations" mistake: step 2
First arithmetic mistake: step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

for x = -1 and y = 2.
Her work seems to be ...
<u>Step 1</u>

<u>Step 2</u>

<u>Step 3</u>

<u>Step 4</u>

_____
So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

Answer: y = (-3/2)x+3</h3>
In decimal form, this is y = -1.5x+3
=========================================
Explanation:
Start at (0,3). Move three units down and two units to the right to get to (2,0)
slope = rise/run
slope = -3/2
rise = -3 = go 3 units down
run = 2 = go 2 units to the right
--------------------------
We could use the two points (0,3) and (2,0) in the slope formula below
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (0-3)/(2-0)
m = -3/2
So this is another way to see the slope is -3/2
--------------------------
The y intercept is where the graph crosses the vertical y axis. In this case, it's at 3. So b = 3
Using m = -3/2 and b = 3, we go from y = mx+b to y = (-3/2)x+3 which is equivalent to y = -1.5x+3
